Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil Certified Organic

Warm, woody, and consciousness-expanding. Valley of the Moon's Frankincense Serrata is a certified organic essential oil steam distilled from the oleo gum resin of Boswellia serrata, sourced from India. Used in religious ceremony and meditation for centuries, Serrata is prized for its ability to slow the breath, calm the mind, and support deep states of relaxation and inner stillness, while also delivering powerful skin care, respiratory, and pain-relieving benefits.
